Grr, wish I would have read this earlier, and snapped a better pic. the one I intend to attach was taken for a fan mod. But you can "somewhat" see the brace.
It attaches between the "frame" and swaybar mounts. wonderbar bar infront of the swaybar.
I advise using a small jack for your assistant to help hold the swaybar while bolting things back up.

Badabing! I had to move the lower radiator hose back towards then engine a bit with a little modification. The bar runs right where the hose previously was. Nothing big!

AHHH that's perfect!!!! Now I know what I am doing! All though some would I never know what I am doing. Is the sway bar that hard to put back in postion that you need to use a jack. If it is it is no big deal I have an extra jack.
The hell with it, I'm going to go out right now and see if I can get it on.
Thank you very much!!!

Took me about 20min. Turn out I didn't need to use the jack. Working on laptops I had to learn how to start a screw with one hand while holding parts with the other.
The stearing feels a bit tighter. I imagine it will be even tighter when I get a STB.
My only warning to any one who is going to this job. KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SWAY BAR!!! OCCCHHH! I never removed the sway bar bushings before and didn't know it would swing down. Oppss.

That would work too tom, LOL.
I just remember after I got done cussing it, and bolting up. That would have been easier using a jack, rather then me curled up in fetus position under car holding it with my legs. LOL

Supports/braces the front so that it wont twist/flex in hard cornoring.
Helps with small bars, and is almost a must with larger bars.
